The MG GT is a stylish and fast-looking sedan able to satisfy the needs of those looking for a car that’s a cut above the rest.
The sedan’s three-dimensional digital flame grille, carbon fiber front spoiler, a set of sporty two-tone Tomahawk alloy wheels, a ducktail spoiler, and three-dimensional racetrack taillamps, simply evoke modern minimalist vibes with a hint of elegant sportiness.
Decorating its ergonomic fighter jet-inspired cockpit are zero-gravity sports seats, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, and a 10-inch floating high-definition touchscreen infotainment system.
Power comes from a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine paired with a seven-speed twin-clutch Sportronic transmission with paddle shifters. It pushes up to 158 horsepower (hp) with 250 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque.
MG might have found the perfect recipe for a hot-selling sporty sedan, but how does it fare against its competitors? On that note, let’s take a look at what other options car buyers have over the MG GT.
The Honda City RS is the range-topping version of the City nameplate. At the front it offers a high gloss black honeycomb grille with an RS emblem as well as a sports-type bumper. On each side are full LED headlights.
The side profile of the Honda City RS is highlighted by 16-inch RS Design aluminum alloy wheels.
Its rear is bedecked with additional appointments like LED taillamps, an LED brake lamp, and a glossy black spoiler.
